I know it's pro"very" but I say Pro"vari" like ferrari. It seems more appropriate.

Ok so I'm southern...I call it a Pro-very. I try to say it correctly but maybe its my southern twang lol! One of my good friends actually calls it my Ferrari. Among the people I know that vape it really doesn't matter what I call it. They have no idea what it is anyway. They think its a hookah! Smh!

This thread cracks me up! I was thinking about the pronunciation as well. Before I knew better, I assumed Provari was the name of the owner from Italian decent. :laugh: I used to call it Provari (ferrari) until I realized the "Vari" part denotes variable voltage. Now I say Provery. That being said, I like the ferrari sounding version better....makes it sound classy and exotic.

You know... ever since i ditched the eGo's and moved to mods... I get THAT exact question more than any other...

not "What is that?", not "Is that an eCig", not "Is that (sometimes medical smokeable not talked about here)?"..

They ask "Is that a hookah?"

Which, confuses the hell out of me... I means, a Hookah isn't really pocketable... and looks nothing like this:

You guys think that pronunciation is weird?

What about Boge... or Vivi Nova?

LOL... I've heard Bogey, B'oh'g, or like I say it Bohj

And VeeVee or Vivi or Vivee Nova?

No Idea.... I think I say ViVi

this is too funny! reminds me of when I waited tables and people wanted or didn't want. I don't want any gwaka-moles or kways-a-dill-eeos, kways-a-diyos or kwaysa-dill-as. sorry to offend if anyone pronounces them like this. it was just funny to me because I had never thought about pronouncing them in this way and it just sounds funny. there's no harm in that right?
